The tender is issued by Msunduzi Local Municipality. While the document does not specify explicit eligibility criteria, typical requirements for municipal tenders include: valid tax clearance, CIDB grading for civil works (likely 7CE or higher), proof of experience in road construction, and compliance with local procurement regulations. Bidders must also have the capacity to conduct geotechnical inspections and testing as required.

Syncline Geotechnical Engineering (Pty) Ltd (hereafter referred to as SGE) was

requested by Lereesen Naidoo of TLS Engineers and Project Managers (on behalf

of Msunduzi Municipality) to provide a proposal and cost estimate to conduct a

geotechnical materials investigation for “THE UPGRADE OF ROADS IN

Msunduzi - wards 7, 8 and 18”.

SGE completed and submitted the quotation document, and was subsequently

formally appointed by TLS on 17 June 2020 to carry out the investigation

(electronic mail received from Mr Naidoo).

2. Scope of report

This report sets out the results of a Geotechnical Materials Investigation for the

“Proposed rehabilitation of road m89 in ward 18, msunduzi

Municipality”.

The subgrade materials occurring along the road are classified and comment is

made on stability and rippability/excavatability of the pavement subsoil materials.

Recommendations are also provided for material use in the

construction/rehabilitation of the road and pavement design.

3. Information utilised

For the purposes of assisting with this investigation TLS provided SGE with the

following information:

 A KMZ/KML Google Earth file which shows the road alignment; and

 Drawing titled “Road Layout Plan” for Rehabilitation of Road M89 – Ward 18

(Drawing No. TLS19-05TP-C-DED-DWG-001).

SGE also made reference to the 250 000 Geological Map titled “2930 Durban” as

published by the Geological Survey.

4. Limitations

The nature of Geotechnical Engineering is such that variations in soil conditions

may occur even where sites seem to be consistent. Variations in what is reported

here may become evident during construction and it is thus imperative that a

Syncline Geotechnical Engineering (Pty) Ltd

Competent Person inspects all excavations to ensure that conditions at variance

with those predicted do not occur and to undertake an interpretation of the facts

supplied in this report.

5. Site description

The study area is situated in Ward 18 Msunduzi Municipality, approximately 10km

6. Field investigation

The fieldwork for the investigation was conducted in June 2020 and comprised the

following:

 Test Pits;

 CBR Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests, and

 Soil Sampling.

6.1 Test Pits

Three (3No.) Test Pits, designated TP1 through TP3, were excavated by hand at

the approximate positions indicated in Figure 1.

Syncline Geotechnical Engineering (Pty) Ltd

The test pits were extended to a final depth of 1.0 metre below existing ground

level (EGL) or up to bedrock refusal, and profiled using the “Guidelines for Soil and

Rock Logging in South Africa”, (2001)1.

Copies of the detailed log profiles are given in Appendix A.

6.2 CBR Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) Tests

Three (3No.) CBR Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests, designated DCP1 to

DCP3, were carried out at the approximate positions indicated in Figure 1. The

DCP tests were advanced to a final depth of 1.0 below EGL or equipment refusal.

The results of the DCP tests comprising plots of blow counts versus depth are

given in Appendix B.

6.3 Laboratory Tests

Disturbed soil samples were retrieved from the test pits and sent to ROADLAB

laboratory for the following tests:

 Particle Size Distribution/Grading;

 Atterberg Limits;

 Modified AASHTO; and

 California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests.

In addition to the above, laboratory tests results of crushed aggregate samples

were also received from Taylors Halt Quarry (testing carried out by SOILCO

laboratory).

The results of the laboratory tests are summarised in Section 7 of this report and

given in Appendix C.

8. Discussion

8.1 General Stability

It is considered that the site is stable and suitable for development provided that

the recommendations given in this report are adhered to.

No signs of inherent ground instability such as slip scars, tension cracks or

sloughing of the mantle of soils were evident during the fieldwork.

8.2 Subsoils and Geology

The geology along the gravel road is generally characterised by a gravel wearing

course layer, subgrade fill gravelly sand layer, insitu (natural) clayey soils and

completely to highly weathered dolerite bedrock at depth.

The following subsoil horizons can be recognised along the gravel road:

 Slightly moist, grey to yellowish grey, medium dense to dense, uniform, sandy

Gravel - wearing course.

 Slightly moist, moderate brown to greyish brown, medium dense, uniform

gravelly, moderately clayey, silty SAND - SUBGRADE FILL.

 Slightly moist, moderate brown to reddish brown, soft to firm, intact, uniform,

silty CLAY - SUBGRADE INSITU.

 Yellowish brown, stained orange, completely to highly weathered, medium to

coarse grained, highly fractured, extremely soft to very soft rock -

Decomposed dolerite - subgrade insitu.

Plates 3 and 4 below provide an indication of the typical subsoil layers

encountered along the gravel road.

Plate 3: TP3 Plate 4: Spoil from TP3

Plates 3 and 4: Typical subsoil layers encountered along the road

Syncline Geotechnical Engineering (Pty) Ltd

8.3 Groundwater Conditions

Groundwater seepage was not encountered along the gravel road and the water

table is anticipated to occur at a depth in excess of 3.0 metres below EGL.

8.4 Trenchability Assessment

Generally the subsoils can be easily excavated up to a depth of at least 1.0 metre

using conventional light earthmoving equipment, and will classify as SOFT and

INTERMEDIATE excavation in terms of SANS 1200D.

Consideration should be given to using the following percentages for classification

of excavations:

Soft Excavation 80%

Intermediate 20%

8.5 Materials Usage and Proposed Pavement Design

The general assessment of subsoil materials for use in the road construction has

been based on field and laboratory tests.

The characteristics of the materials and their suitability for use in construction is

summarised in Table 3 below.

Regarding the above, the reddish brown silty clay in-situ materials at

formation level are considered poor subgrade. However, decomposed

dolerite in-situ subgrade is anticipated to classify as G7 – G8 according to

TRH14 (but additional laboratory testing will be required to confirm this

during construction).

8.6 Potential Borrow Pits and Commercial Source

A search for potential borrow pits in the vicinity of the study area proved to be

unsuccessful. However, a wide range of materials (G2, G5, Crusher Run,

Concrete Stone etc.) can be obtained from the nearby Wearne Aggregates

Quarry or Taylors Halt Quarry (commercial sources).

Wearne is located approximately 5km northwest of the study area at coordinates

29°40' 6.0"S - 30° 20' 36.4"E. Taylors Halt is located approximately 25km west of

the study area at coordinates 29°40' 9.1"S - 30° 11' 14.5"E.

8.7 Drainage

On all road curves, the outer shoulder should be lined with upright kerbs to deflect

water run-off back into the road stormwater system. Experience with the erodible

soils indicates that unlined dish (half round) drains adjacent to the road are

virtually ineffective and will soon give way to the formation of erosion gullies and

scouring. Subsequent damage of road prism can be expected. The need for

subsoil drainage will have to be assessed on site during construction.

Syncline Geotechnical Engineering (Pty) Ltd

8.8 Further Testing During Construction

Regular process control and acceptance control testing must be carried out during

road construction. It is recommended that once the roadbed (formation) has been

prepared that a series of samples be taken for CBR testing and stabilised tests (if

required) at intervals as recommended in TMH5.

9. Conclusions

This report sets out the results of a Geotechnical Materials Investigation for the

“Proposed rehabilitation of road m89 in ward 18, msunduzi

Municipality”.

The geology along the gravel road is generally characterised by a gravel wearing

course layer, subgrade fill gravelly sand layer, insitu (natural) clayey soils and

completely to highly weathered dolerite bedrock at depth.

Groundwater seepage was not encountered along the gravel road and the water

table is anticipated to occur at a depth in excess of 3.0 metres below EGL.

It is considered that the site is stable and suitable for development provided that

the recommendations given in this report are adhered to.

Generally the subsoils can be easily excavated up to a depth of at least 1.0 metre

using conventional light earthmoving equipment, and will classify as SOFT and

INTERMEDIATE excavation in terms of SANS 1200D.

The reddish brown silty clay in-situ materials at formation level are

considered poor subgrade. However, decomposed dolerite in-situ subgrade

is anticipated to classify as G7 – G8 according to TRH14 (but additional

laboratory testing will be required to confirm this during construction).

A wide range of materials (G2, G5, Crusher Run, Concrete Stone etc.) can be

obtained from the nearby Wearne Aggregates Quarry or Taylors Halt Quarry

(commercial sources).

Wearne is located approximately 5km northwest of the study area at coordinates

29°40' 6.0"S - 30° 20' 36.4"E. Taylors Halt is located approximately 25km west of

the study area at coordinates 29°40' 9.1"S - 30° 11' 14.5"E.

On all road curves, the outer shoulder should be lined with upright kerbs to deflect

water run-off back into the road stormwater system.

Regular process control and acceptance control testing must be carried out during

road construction. It is recommended that once the roadbed (formation) has been

prepared that a series of samples be taken for CBR testing and stabilised tests (if

required) at intervals as recommended in TMH5.

Syncline Geotechnical Engineering (Pty) Ltd

The ground conditions given in this report refer specifically to the field tests

carried out on site. It is therefore, quite possible that conditions at variance

with those given in this report can be encountered elsewhere on site during

construction. It is therefore important that Syncline Geotechnical

Engineering (Pty) Ltd be appointed to carry out periodic inspections during

construction. Any change from the anticipated ground conditions could

then be taken into account to avoid unnecessary expense.

water run-off back into the road stormwater system. Experience with the erodible

soils indicates that unlined dish (half round) drains adjacent to the road are

virtually ineffective and will soon give way to the formation of erosion gullies and

considered poor subgrade. However, decomposed dolerite in-situ subgrade

is anticipated to classify as G7 – G8 according to TRH14 (but additional

laboratory testing will be required to confirm this during construction).

A wide range of materials (G2, G5, Crusher Run, Concrete Stone etc.) can be

obtained from the nearby Wearne Aggregates Quarry or Taylors Halt Quarry

(commercial sources).

Wearne is located approximately 5km northwest of the study area at coordinates

29°40' 6.0"S - 30° 20' 36.4"E. Taylors Halt is located approximately 25km west of

the study area at coordinates 29°40' 9.1"S - 30° 11' 14.5"E.

carried out on site. It is therefore, quite possible that conditions at variance

with those given in this report can be encountered elsewhere on site during

construction. It is therefore important that Syncline Geotechnical

Engineering (Pty) Ltd be appointed to carry out periodic inspections during

construction. Any change from the anticipated ground conditions could

then be taken into account to avoid unnecessary expense.
